Symantec's Enterprise Security business, now a division of Broadcom, is headquartered in Mountain View, California and its Cyber Security Services business includes more than 300 employees around the world who serve top-tier organizations across a diverse range of industries, including financial services, utilities, health, government, communications, media, technology and retail.

"Becoming part of Accenture Security is a tremendous opportunity for our clients and our cyber warriors around the globe, enabling us to fuse the unique services, capabilities and solutions of two well-established companies to deliver the next generation of cybersecurity services," said John Lionato, vice president and general manager of Symantec's Cyber Security Services business.

Symantec's Cyber Security Services business will be the latest in a series of acquisitions - including those of Deja vu Security, iDefense, Maglan, Redcore, Arismore and FusionX - that demonstrate Accenture Security's commitment to investing in and innovating advanced threat intelligence and cybersecurity solutions.
